Peran Emotional Control terhadap Mathematics Self-Efficacy Siswa di Indonesia Berdasarkan Data PISA 2022

Abstract

Mathematics is one of the most important subjects in education and life, as it plays a role in developing students' logical and analytical thinking skills. One influential aspect in enhancing mathematical abilities is mathematics self-efficacy, which refers to an individual’s belief in their ability to solve mathematical problems. Students' self-efficacy in mathematics can be affected by their ability to manage emotions, also known as emotional control. This study aimed to determine the role of emotional control in mathematics self-efficacy among Indonesian students using secondary data from PISA 2022. The research sample consisted of 13,439 students aged 15–16 years from various provinces across Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression, the results showed F (1, 13437) = 142.048, p < 0.001, R = 0.010. These findings indicate that emotional control significantly contributes to students' mathematics self-efficacy. However, the R2 value of 0.010 indicates that the emotional control variable plays a role of 1% on mathematics self-efficacy and the remaining 99% is influenced by other factors not examined in the study. These findings imply the necessity of reinforcing students' emotional regulation during learning activities, particularly in mathematics lessons. This is crucial for enhancing their self-efficacy in mathematical abilities, which could lead to a more comprehensive improvement in Indonesian students' math performance.
